Top 10 Yorkshire sports stars

[oldman]

No. 6 - Aaron Lennon???

http://www.yorkshirenetwork.co.uk/top-10/yorkshire-sports-stars/

Nick Barmby has more league appearances (490) than Milner (423) or Lennon (350) and more Full England caps (23) than Lennon (21).

Oh sorry, forgot they were both born in Leeds - typical West Yorkshire attitude.

It's complete bollocks, some female boxer that nobody's heard of, but no Gordon Banks, Freddie Trueman, Brian Clough?

You don't make the top ten greatest ever Yorkshire sportsman/woman list after just one good Premier League season.

You don't make the top ten greatest ever Yorkshire sportsman/woman list after just one good Premier League season.

Nor should you make it after 12 mediocre seasons but that doesn't seem to have stopped Lennon.

Going by their logic you should!

This list really is horseshit. Even focusing on modern day, people like Joe Root and the Brownlee brothers (or whichever one of them it is that always wins) deserve to be there ahead of some of these. And what about that superbike guy - Toseland?

Couldn't believe it when I sat it either.

No he's from the Midlands.

I guess there are no great sportsmen/women from North or East Yorkshire then.

No Freddie Truman or Ray Illingworth, Johnny Whiteley, Roger Millward or Brian Clough, Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Gordon Pirie or Roger Taylor !
